Biography
Abu Feisal was a commander of the Islamic Front during the Battle of Aleppo in the Syrian Civil War. In 2014, he gave VICE News a tour of the ruined and abandoned al-Melh Square and also took them on a tour of Islamic Front tunnels dug under the Syrian Arab Army positions. He told them about the bombing of the police headquarters using a tunnel packed with explosives on 29 July 2014, destroying the building and killing the foreign Shia militia under Colonel Ali inside. During the interview, he also expressed hope that the ancient Aleppo Citadel would be liberated from Bashar al-Assad's forces and not destroyed. He also told the reporter Aris Roussinos about how the Shabiha and "Assad's gangs" stole all of the contents inside the 15th-century Yalbugha Hammam public bath. Abu Feisal reminisced that when the Islamic Front was taking over the Palace of Justice, the regime burnt up all the contents of the building such as cars, files, and things important for the people.
